Summers in Delhi is fun..especially now that Delhi is become NCR..saw a few sights which ensured that I made good use of the camera on my mobile phone and thought let me share here for whoever is interested. This is the continuation of the earlier stuff tht I had put up..the little known sights of Delhi / India

Yes you guessed this right. These were a bunch of donkeys on busy road. I had parked on the side to take a call when I noticed them..yeah right...I do tend to notice a lot of donkeys in this world LOL. but these chappies were pretty intelligent..they waited for the traffic to thin down...crossed the road...and actually trotted on the sidewalk..Dont know how many of us have this civic sense in us :-). Next time I hope I see pigs..they are too found in abundance here :-)

This used to be available for 5 paise a glass now the rates have shot up to a rupee. In summers in Delhi one gets to see these "machines" which use a simple pump mechanism to pump out water in a glass. A boon to all travellers. Sometimes if one is lucky the vendor may also have some lemons and give you an outta this world lemonade.

On the way to Office..towards Gurgaon, Haryana

Well..Thats the "Ship Building" on the right hand side
which is just kind of visible on a dusty morning.

There...now can see the building a little bit more clearly

Dust in Delhi is brought about by an onslaught of wind ...hot wind..called locally as Loo. Dont confuse it with the word Loo used for the toilets..if you do..trust me the experience may not be well liked by you and the people around you..as the delhi Loo is hot and furious.

well now me gotta go..and shut all doors and windows..as the winds have started again

Thought of sharing one of the songs I kind of liked. Its does reflect the world we live in..

It's a jungle out thereDisorder and confusion everywhereNo one seems to careWell I doHey, who's in charge here?It's a jungle out therePoison in the very air we breatheDo you know what's in the water that you drink?Well I do, and it's amazingPeople think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the timeIf you paid attention, you'd be worried tooYou better pay attentionOr this world we love so much might just kill youI could be wrong now, but I don't think so!'Cause there's a jungle out there.It's a jungle out there.
